Presented by the Organised Crime and Money Laundering Programme, Institute for Security Studies (ISS) Cape Town Office.

The seminar seeks to evaluate the recent spate of violent criminal activities in Cape Town, including the killing of three students, which has been attributed to gang-related activity in the city.

These recent events bring to the fore, issues of safety and security in communities and the ability of the police to control it. Despite their random nature, these crimes appear to be organized to an extent, and highlight the violent nature of crime in the Western Cape.

Mr Micheal Jacobs

Mr Monde Nqulwana
